Hello,
When you specify a signal_source, you have to set up the sample rate.
But with the noise and vector sources you do not have to specify this
parameter.
What is the sample rate in the computer -> USB when we generate a noise
or generate data from a list/file?
Thanks

The sample rate across the USB is determined by the interpolation or
decimation rate programmed into the usrp.
On receive, USB sample rate = 64e6 / decimation_rate
On transmit, USB sample rate = 128e6 / interpolation_rate

I’m having some python coding issues with a slider I’m trying to
implement. The code is based on usrp_wfm_rcv_pll.py, which uses the
powermate to adjust either frequency or volume. I would like to replace
the volume slider with a gain slider, which exists in the original but
which is not controlled by the powermate.
My code is below, and the symptoms are that while the new gain slider
moves, the value shown does not update until I click the powermate
button
to switch to frequency control. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

So I tested but I have another question.
I read that the data through the USB cable (from computer to USRP) are
in the format I/Q complex. (Dawei Shen tutorial)
My interpolation factor is 512, so the sample rate is 128M/512 =
250kSample/s
I have a data list with 500e3 data. 250e3 are of 1000uV and 250e3 are of
0uV. I see with my spectrum analyzer during 1 second some power and
during another second nothing.
With a vector_source in complex, no problem. But if I specify a
vector_source in short, during 0.5 second I see power and during another
0.5 second nothing. So there is a factor of 2 between the complex and
short format.
Therefore with a vector_list in short the sampling rate is doubled?
Because in I/Q format there are 16bits * 2 (I & Q) and in short only
16bits?
Is it true that when we have a source in short the sampling rate is
double because we do not use the I/Q format?
Thanks

Thanks
Therefore the USB rate is automatically adapted by the
interpolation/decimation factor! I thinked that it was us that have to
adapted the different parameters (interpolation/decimation and sample
rate over USB).
Thank you

I recommend that you don’t use the short interface to the usrp.
